Rather than start my last project of the week (thank god, I'm so close), I'm going to write in here. Sometimes you need to do nothing for sanity... and this is my moment of not thinking and just writing. So... on Monday, my production management class went to Harley-Davidson to see the manufacturing/assembly line they have there. It was actually really interesting, you'd be surprised at how much detail they put into everything, especially the chrome finish. If you didn't already know, there was… Continue

Sooo.... I was sick for two weeks. Somehow I managed to get the flu and two ear infections!! Honestly, besides being the sick part, I really enjoyed the break from school. I got to relax and sleep a whole lot! But... Missing school is never good. I found that out the hard way. After Thanksgiving break I had Week 1 3 tests 1 Presentation Week 2 (Now) 4 presentations 1 paper Week 3 (Finals) 3 Finals 3 Papers Omg. I hate my life. On the bright side, while I was sick, I got a lot of calls fr… Continue

Last week, I was invited to go to a dinner with the board of trustees. I attended and speaking with alumni of Albright as well as trustees who hold stake in Albright's participation in the community, made me realize that graduation is coming... and fast. Yes, I still have a semester to go along with an interim I'm taking (The biology of first aid, that might actually come in handy one of these days as I am a very clumsy person), but I should have an internship lined up for the upcoming semester… Continue

School has been crazy hectic so far this semester. It's my senior year and everyone always talks about how much work there is, but trust me, until you're at that point, you have nooooo idea. I literally live in the library these days, although that seems to be more of a hindrance than a help since all my friends go there to do homework, too. So instead of doing homework for three hours, we spend three hours playing music and showing each other funny clips on youtube or peopleofwalmart. Luckily,… Continue

This summer has mostly consisted of me sitting behind a desk at the Schumo Center. While I enjoy my job very much, Albright can get a little lonely when your roommates are back home and the school feels deserted (well, it was quite busy with high school boys, but who wants to hang out with them?). So I was quite happy when the first week of August rolled around and Katie (my beautiful roommate) and I headed to Sea Isle to catch some rays. Because of my skin complexion, I usually only have to wea… Continue

So the summer has been relatively uneventful for me, but it's been quite enjoyable. This is my first summer staying up at Albright because usually I'd go home. I have to say I really like it. I just moved into my new apartment and although it needs some work done to it, it's so close to campus, I can't complain!! It’s crazy how a job on campus can completely change your outlook on yourself and the things you do. I can say that even though I’ve played sports before, I’ve never been really what yo… Continue
